It’s all about prep

Where do I start?

"Starting at the nape of the neck and holding my Rainbow Shine Wand horizontally, place a relatively thick piece of hair on top of the tong and wrap under then over – don’t worry about getting the very ends in – hold for 8-10 seconds. This will give you lift root as well as a bouncy curl.

"As you unwrap this piece of hair tease it out by holding the ends and giving the hair a little shake. This will give the curl a natural feel."

"From the ears upwards, turn the tong vertically so the cord is facing upwards. Wrap the hair around the wand with the curl directed away from the face.
